The best-worst method is a recently developed approach that addresses pairwise
comparisons in multi-criteria decision-making problems. It has attracted the interest of many …

Pairwise comparison matrices are increasingly used in settings where some pairs are
missing. However, there exist few inconsistency indices for similar incomplete data sets and …

Abstract The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a much discussed method in ranking
business alternatives based on empirical and judgemental information. We focus here upon …

In this paper we study the efficiency of the principal eigenvector of a pairwise comparison
matrix obtained from a consistent one by perturbing three entries above the main diagonal …

Ranking and rating methods have outstanding significance in sports, mainly due to their
capacity to predict results. In this paper we turn to their capacity to aggregate separate …

Pairwise comparison matrices often exhibit inconsistency, therefore many indices have been
suggested to measure their deviation from a consistent matrix. A set of axioms has been …

A methodology is presented to rank universities on the basis of the lists of programmes the
students applied for. We exploit a crucial feature of the centralised assignment system to …

Many sports leagues are played in a tightly scheduled round-robin format, leaving a limited
time window to postpone matches. If the season cannot resume due to an external shock …

Mathematical analysis of the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) led to the development of a
mathematical function, usually called the inconsistency index, which has the center role in …

Interval pairwise comparison matrices are widely accepted for practical decision making
problems when the decision maker is unable to provide an exact judgment on the …
